Podcast: Mighty as a Mother

What if we stopped whispering about menopause—and started reclaiming it instead?

Today, we’re thrilled to welcome therapist and author Lauren A. Tetenbaum, LCSW, JD, PMH-C, MSCP @thecounselaur whose book “Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life’s Next Period” is rewriting everything we thought we knew about perimenopause, menopause, and what it means to age as a modern woman.

This conversation is about more than symptoms — it’s about joy, power, identity, and the emotional and physical shifts that collide (often silently) during our peak career years.

We talk about:

• Why most of us don’t know the early signs of perimenopause (and what to watch for)

• How the medical system is failing women in midlife, and how to push back

• What younger women can do now to protect their future well-being

• How menopause changes our ambition, relationships, and sense of self

• Why this stage isn’t an ending — it’s a beginning
